Based in Toronto, Canada.

I first joined Shopify more than 10 years ago.

Since then, I got a CS degree at UWaterloo, studied fashion at CSM, designed a typeface, learned to drive manual, and lived in New York, London, Tokyo, and Seoul.

Today, I'm the lead designer of Talent at Shopify. I built software that powers performance, mastery, and rewards with π, cmux, and Figma. Now, I'm thinking a lot about agentic work.
